SPECIFICATION formingl part of LettersPatent O. 739,560, 'dated September 22, 1903. Application filed September 29, 1902. Serial No. 125,292. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that we, ANNA ROEHM and HELENE SGHIEMEE, citizens of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Combs for Holding False Hair, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention has relation to combsnfor holding false hair on the head of the wearer; and it consists in the novel constructionand arrangement of its parts, as hereinafter described.

The object of the invention is to 'providea comb having attached to it a quantity of hair, said comb being adapted to be inserted in the natural hair of the wearer in such a manner that the natural hair can be thrown over the false hair, and thus conceal the comb and the false hair, but making the head of hair appear to be much thicker and heavier.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a perspective view of the comb with a portion of the false hair removed. Fig. 2 is a yplan view of the comb iiattened out with a portion of the false hair removed. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the comb.

The comb consists of the back l, which is so shaped as to flt over the crown of the head, the-intermediate portion of the comb being provided with the teeth 2 and the ends 3 being adapted t pass down behind the ears ofA the wearer. The back of the comb is provided with a number of perforations e, through which false hair 5 is sewed or other- Vteeth 2 retaining the comb in its'proper position,and the extended ends 3, passing behind the ears, are completely7 concealed bythe hair. By usingthis device the wearer can make a thin suit of hair appear to be heavy and luxurious.

The comb may be made of any suitable material-such as horn, bone, shell, Celluloid, or

aluminium.

Having 'described our invention," what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

Y.A device of the character as described, consisting of a comb, said comb being U-shaped and having at an intermediate portion teeth adapted to engage the hair ofV the wearer leaving the projecting ends without teeth, said ends extending parallel with each other and adapted to pass along the opposite sides of the head and behind the ears of the wearer and false hair attached to the comb.

In testimony whereof we aiiix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
